Asked by campjl57 Dec 01, 2012 at 07:30 PM about the 1990 GMC Sierra C/K 1500

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

the truck will start up most time fine with a little gas, after about 30 seconds in idle it will do an
irregular idle and then stall out. Also when I put the truck into reverse or drive without my foot on the
gas pedal it will stall out. I can drive the truck as long as my foot is on the pedal giving it a little gas
when I'm at a stop light.
So far I have replace the IAC, PT sensor, ECS module, Ignition module, spark plugs, distributor cap and
wires, fuel pump relay, fuel filter, i have cleaned the carburetor with cleaner spray.Please help!!

Have you tested the fuel pressure? Sounds like the pump is dying.

So, I changed my fuel filter again and it's running much better but is still stalling, I haven't done a fuel pressure test yet but while I was under changing the fuel filter I saw a pretty major exhaust crack. Do you think this has something to do with the symptoms?

If the exhaust was bent I'd say yea but no not a hole. I'm still betting on the pump.
